Bladestorm - PS3 vs 360 Comparison

Here's a PS3 vs 360 comparison of the Bladestorm Demo.

PS3 - 720p - HDMI/RGB Full/Super White On
360 - 720p Component/Black Level Extended

[leon76]

ahahahaha!!!
"PS3 - 720p - HDMI/RGB Full/Super White On;360 - 720p Component/Black Level Extended" - how funny is this now, ahahahah!!!!!

[mikeslemonade]

You're nuts Power of Green you think the HDMI would magically turn the 360 version's dirt ground to have individual blades of glass. The PS3 version is better and the demo has been out since early 2007 on PSN. This game looks like a PS2 game anyway. This shows that even crappy devlopers can make superior PS3 games than 360 games.

[Feihc Retsam]

The PS3 version doesn't look very smooth, or rich.
It looks like there is excess picture noise from the PS3 version for some reason.
Instead of having a lush green look to the grass and trees, everything has a sharp white-ish glare... strange

This is definitely NOT a shining example of a fair comparison...

I'd like to see a side by side comparison of a game that doesn't look like sh*T... And preferably a comparison where the overall video quality doesn't look like it was taped with a VHS camcorder

[JsonHenry]

Why did they turn black level to extended on when only using the component cables hooked up to a TV? The extended option should only be used when connecting the 360 up to a computer monitor that does not have the same default white reference level that TVs have.

Not that it matters, this game looks like total garbage on both systems. But I think that people need to be taught as to WHY you would use something OTHER than the default settings on either console.

Because from reading the posts below I get the feeling that most people have no idea why.

[jams_shop]

That the PS3 version has shorter load times

[power of Green]

Didn't watch the vid but they should have used the Elite to kill the excuses.

No real proof this wasn't doctored to further one's agenda. Why wouldn't they use HDMI with the 360? that also defeats the original point Sony fanboys were trying to make.

EDIT:
" i was just asking a question to 360fanboy "

^^ so says the PS3 fanboy thats lucky he dosn't have hundreds of fanboys trying to take his bubbles just becuase folks don't like what you say.

I'v seen rabid trolls saying XBOT, PS3 will rule Sh8Tbox 360 PS# pwns PS3 PS3 PS3 day after day that are maxed out with bubbles whats your excuse?.

Prove to me this video was done fairly becuase the first proof with the NG Sigma before and after comparison should make Sony wan't to leave the gaming industry if Sigma or other games look that bad without /RGB Full/Super White On, they should be sued.

[C_SoL]

ur lame...I can't believe u don't realize that ur a 360fanboy(now he wants to respond, i guess u r a "XBOT") & so ur gonna go cry about it??? i was asking a question, but for get it......just go back into ur hole & cry.

[Winter47th]

It defeats the point of how much of an overrated retard you are, which is a given, try not to compress as much idiocity in one reply as humanly possible will ya, if you don't want to be smacked as a fanboy yourself, then stop calling every disagreeing opinion on this site, a fanboy.

And stop reporting news just cause you don't like it from your narrow-minded point of moronic view and shut news down with no proof, this's called exploiting the system and someone should really consider withdrawing your approving/reporting privileges cause you're misusing'em.

As for the topic, are they comparing any crap they find these days ?

[Sez]

yeah you are right. if sonyfanboys aregoing to b!tch about GT not using the RGB in the ps3 to make it look more like/or better than the 360 version. than why not be fair and us the HDMI built into the 360 to be fair.

[power of Green]

Thats the old C_SoL I know, never be ashamed of who you are. Thats the 3 bubble C_Sol we all know and love. Don't like Halo all that much anymore so i never watched the video.

vega75:

I wouldn't worry about the video you should go take a look at the RGB Full Ninja Gaiden Sigma before and after thread.

If games look like 480p without RGB Full; Sony should be in deep sh*t, its either that or somebody doctored the before pic to make the differences more extream. Why should I believe anything any Sony fanboy can whip up?.

MEUS Renaissance or whatever posted those RGB Full threads earlier today' I believe can't remember so don't take it to the bank.

I'v cought him faking news posts before with PGR4, he was using PGR3 pics passing them off as PGR4 pics mixing them in.

I cought him when looking closly and the textures and effects were all wrong and then the ultimate proof was the Plates on the cars themselfs, they said PGR3. If he tries to lie I can easily find the post. lol

[omfg_111]

not every 360 got hdmi ...

what would you do bladestorm comparison video PS3 vs. 6 kind's of Xbox360 verisons ...

[power of Green]

WTF did you just say?. Stick to the topics nut. lol

[mikeslemonade]

You're just mad that HD-DVD lost.

[Zhuk]

The Xbox 360 version undoubtedly is superior, with it not only running better but also looking far clearer and crisper. Yet ANOTHER Xbox 360 title that is superior to its PS3 counterpart, what a surprise.

You really think the fandroids would be able to put the evidence before them together and draw the conclusion that the Xbox 360 is the most powerful console on the market, but still they refuse to believe the truth that the Xbox 360 is the greatest games console ever created

[digger18]

If the Xbox 360 is the left hand one, then yes it miles better

[pswi60]

lol...which its not =)

Left = ps3
Right = 360

[Lew_Ijgee]

I think it pretty obvious that whoever made videos only did so to sort of retaliate in light of the news coming from the GT comments. If you look each of the videos (newly added to the site) were uploaded within a twelve hour period. He turned on Super White mode of the PS3 and use component cables for the Xbox360 almost exactly the opposite of GT comparisons.

[power of Green]

"PS3 - 720p - HDMI/RGB Full/Super White On 360 - 720p Component/Black Level Extended"

Black Level: Extended feature on the 360 means nothing.

Its just to blacken 480p faded blacks.
Has nothing to do with this video assuming the 360 version is actually set at something other than 480p if the black level is set at Extended its not in HD if its supposedly working thats for sure.

" Reference Level or Black Level: If you're using the Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable, the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable, or the Xbox 360 HDMI Cable, then screen format options include Reference Level. The default setting, Standard, delivers the normal range of white and black levels that your TV or monitor supports. Select Intermediate to increase the level of white and black in the video output. Select Expanded to maximize black level. Reference level is sometimes used to make a picture sharper, and you can experiment with what format suits your viewing pleasure.

If you're using a composite cable, the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable, or the Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable, then screen format options include Black Level, a setting that applies only in the U.S. and only when the display output is 480i or 480p, such as when watching a DVD. Black level options include Standard, Intermediate, and Extended."

Just incase you try to use useless features when it comes to what we're talking about to trick fanboys, How can somebody set this setting and not know what its for? and then try to convince the masses about this Sony fanboy excuse that not helping much.

[pswi60]

i think its funny that when ps3 users were complaining about the unfair comparisons, xbots (like above)where saying 'its cause the ps3 is junk' but NOW its unfair cause the 360 isnt tweaked lol...

these vids prove that GT doesnt want to put the work in and do the comparisons properly. all those multiplat games need to have their comparison vids taken down or re-done the right way to see a proper comparison, not gimping one system vs. the other for a one sided show.

[aggh im on fire]

Games rubbish, who cares.

[paracardium]

even if the used the the crappy Elite the outcome would be the same cause the xbox is piece of crap and you will all see that this year.So now for comparisons they should use only the Elite lol? So that means that 360's that aren't elite are garbage? Poor xbots Ms sure has a good grip on you.

[mikeslemonade]

Most people who have a 360 have the component only version anyway and that includes Zhuk and Power of Green. Power of Green probably has multiple 360s, but he has the component version nonetheless.

[Lord Cheese]

why resort do fanboy-esque comments? It just loses you bubbles and adds you to ignore lists.

A touch of impartiality never hurt anyone.

[Vip3r]

They both look the same to me except the 360 version looks a little darker.

[Maddens Raiders]

The top of the bar in the tavern has more clarity and detail (visible) in the PS3 version because it's not sooo dark. @1:24 the breakbox takes longer to load (no big deal I guess) but the blades of grass and the overall look of being outside was miles better on the PS3. On the breakbox it just looks like a pile of green dirt and is a wee bit blurry and hazy. The PS3 version just looks better. btw - this is one of the biggest demos I've played in some time.

[uxo22]

The one on the right looked better to me, although the video quality was poor for any comparison the one on the right had more vibrant colors, and appeared a bit cleaner. The one on the left did have faster load times, however we're talk about a screen coming up maybe 2 seconds before the other. Hardly anything to whine about. I also noticed that the one on the right had more animation sequences (Bar scene), which was probably just something done by the devs.

People are going to jock the console of their choice, but anyone that says the one on the left looked better...well, whatever.

[Maddens Raiders]

the only reason this story is getting reported is because the Microsoft Protection Authority knows that the PS3 version looks and loads better. End of story.

[InMyOpinion]

How come they didn't use HDMI for the 360 as well? What does "Black Level Extended" mean? It looks awfully dark.

[allatain]

If you actually research the difference between HDMI and Component you would learn that Component is actually better than HDMI. HDMI is used by Corporations because it has DRM

@LordCheese

You are definitely right about that, esp with the fact that some TVs can't get 1080p through component.
As you go into greater than 1080p, the digital signals with the HDMI will start to show its deficiencies. HDMI and Components only difference is the number or plugs, but its still on one collective wire, and with the recent color designs on the plug, only color blind people will not know how to plug it in (No offense to the color blind or blind people)

[Lord Cheese]

I know of some tv's that dont accept 1080p signals through component (my sharp being one of them), plus theres the obvious benefit to not having to have separate digital audio cables - but in picture terms i dont see any difference.

[InMyOpinion]

Ok. Thanks for clarifying.

[tk]

allatain
HDMI is better than component. Component is not a purely digital signal like HDMI. With component cable quality plays a role - because of signal loss. With HDMI, you can gold plate all you like, the signal is exactly the same as a cheap HDMI cable that works. Either it gets the data or not.

To be fair on the comparisons, they should use best from both - meaning - both should be HDMI output. Comparing the PS3 HDMI to the XB360 component is just as stupid as the GT comparisons that try to make the PS3 version look bad. Why the hell can't the people making comparison videos not get it right? Are they stupid or something?

[MK_Red]

Well, the Dynasty Warriors 6 was useless because of how ugly that game was but this vid makes DW6 look like Gears of War or Uncharted...
Seriously, when will Koei stop making ugly looking and mediocre games for next-gen and start putting some effort for kicks? Bladestorm, Fatal Inertia (Which at least had UE3), DW6 and 100000 DW spin-offs and of course their other similair "Warriors" games.

[mighty_douche]

WHO GIVES A F*CK....?

Out off all the f@gs here making a big deal out of this i bet NONE of them even f*cking own it.

Cant you just be happy with what you got, thats what your parents had to do, (unfortunately for most of them).

STOP F*CKING MOANING LIKE LITTLE B!TCH'S.....

[Maddens Raiders]

that was exxplosive!

[mighty_douche]

i just get feed up of people b!tching over a game they have no intention of buying. Ive really had enough of every comment being........

sony fanboy blah blah blah, xbox fanboy blah blah blah, RROD blah blah blah, X-tard blah blah blah, Sony drones blah blah blah.......

IS this site main demographic 12-16 year olds?

[SL1M DADDY]

I think this is the Mighty Clone or should I say Psudo-mighty... You just don't seem yourself Mighty. lol

[mighty_douche]

No its the original Mighty, sorry i just came over a little angry.

[craymoogy]

the comparison is in 720p, so hdmi or not, it doesn't matter.

the problem is that rgb full has to be with hdmi, that's what ps3 has, so you can't complain. the system can do better, just that most people don't know because sony targets everybody, not just hdtv people.

from the look of the video, ps3 actually looks better, so stop complaining.

[allatain]

RGB is suppose to use HDMI, Component is HD and it can be used with RGB on full. You don't need an HDMI to have the RGB on Full, You can use Component with RGB on Full and notice a difference on the image quality

[Hydrollex]

If you have an expensive HD TV then PS3 looks way better than 360. RGB full makes it even better

[ThaGeNeCySt]

what's Black Level Extended?

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

I mean heck they are on the losing end of a console war, so they need to cry, whine and scream somhow to get it all out. It's to bad this little "whine fest 08" won't make it b3yond N4G. http://www.kleenex.com/lio/... kleenex has a whole forum dedicated to people that just want to "cry" it out, see for yourself. "It's not fair GT doesnt do it right, so were going to do the same thing, take that xbots" meanwhile in the real world people are lining up to laugh at the silly Droids that cry and moan daily all over the net.

You would think with as much crap Droids are giving GT for "supposedly" being unfair that they would be the bigger man/child and not do the same thing. ?????

Component for Component
HDMI for HDMI
It's the only fair thing to do, it was then and still is now. What should they show HDMI 360 vs Component PS3? that would be a nuke fest of tears there.

Now excuse me while I go email this laugh factory so others can come join in the comedy.

[pswi60]

remember what you said yesterday Jason360?

Jason 360 - 15 Jan 2008 10:02

Now on to the next thing to cry about Droids, just close your eyes and throw a dart.

"If you turn the PS3 slightly to the left and put a toothpick under the right side it makes the PS3 have more color on that rock, so this isn't a fair comparison." <--I'm sorry but that is whay they sound like to me when they cry and whine and they do more crying and whining than all the other fanboys combined.

then I said:

pswi60 - 22 Hours ago

Jason, if it were the other way around you would be crying like a little b1tch all over the internet...

Looks like i was right.....

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Hey man thanks for posting my earler comment, saves me from showing how you fit into that catigory.

Thanks again and remember the link above is for those crying eyes, you just may find lots of friends there just like you :)

Now make sure you live up to that SDF job and go down the list to try and spin those that speak to much truth. Happy crying.

[pswi60]

why don't you just admit you are consumed by hate? your bias has blinded you from the real truth, and you think your point of view is the only truth. when its negative for sony it's ok, but negative for xbox and there is some hidden truth nobody but you can see but you......really?

you guys sat back an smiled when these comparisons favored you, and now you don't like it the other way around. hopefully somewhere down the line both camps can be happy with a true apples to apples comparison, but right now this is what we got.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Don't like being called a crybaby, then don't "cry" like a baby. It's simple realy, go to any gaming site on the net at anytime and you will see lots and lots of Droids crying and whining. All because your last and you believed Sony's BS and now your not getting sh!t from Sony.

The saddest thing of all to me is the Xbox brand is comming off a 25 million install base, where the Playstation brand is comming off a 120 million install base but yet you sell 7 million in a year. By way of comparison and being as fair as possible the PS3 should have sold about 16 million in it's first year. To top all that off you whine and lie about your attach rate being a 7, adding movies and games to that, when it's realy a 3. Then you all cry, b!tch and moan about DMC4 going multi so you start a b!tch fest petition. Then you whine GT to death so they admit they compare with component to component when you realy want then to go HDMI/PS3 and component/360 so it would look in favor of the PS3. When in fact if they did actualy go HDMI vs HDMI the 360 would still look better and then you guys would b!tch about that. Lets not forget the whine "LAIR" fest of 07 and the F*** Valve, UBI, Capcom, id, and EA "buckets of Droid tears" over ports and lost exclusives ????

You starting to see a "crying" pattern here? Wii owners and 360 owners don't need to cry. Wii owners are 1st in consoles and 2nd in games and 360 owners are 1st in games and 2nd in consoles. It's allways that last place, bronze and 3rd place losers that do the most crying. Kinda like you, huh?

The vid below is for that sore loser in you, have a nice day :)

[djroberts]

The one on the left looks obviously better. The one of the right suffers from a slight blur probably due to full screen AA.

[name]

No one gives a crap about this game and no one in this thread will buy it. The end.

[Blademask]

The textures are better on the PS3 side. Simple as that, but you couldn't even tell if they weren't side by side.

It reminds me of Oblivion. texture wise. Framerates are the same.

again

who cares? No one is buying this turd.

[digger18]

Well what can I say. This game looks rubbish.

But!!! by looking at that low grade video, the one on the left is miles better. Just look at the textures on the bar/table at the start and when your outside, the grass is better too. The one on the right, the bar/table has no textures and the same with the grass, just looks like a mess.

Plus the load times are a lot quicker on the left.

[GutZ31]

Why is anyone complaining about this game being better graphically?
It F'ing looks like sh1t no matter what settings its on, or what console its played on.
Comparing this is like comparing Paris Hilton before she got jailed, and after she made a sex tape.
Its all the same!

[disgaea]

PS3 version is better

[JOLLY1]

Is it just me or does it look like they put more time into the 360 version? why did they add more animation to the bar tender in the 360 version? Why did they make the white so over-saturated in the ps3 version? They both don't look all that good, but the 360 looks better with fuller color, (even in the water) better animation, and everything ingame runs faster (watch the text with the bartender).

Edit: Maybe the guy that posted this is a 360 fan, because everything else I wrote was fact. Also what is with the loading story? You get time to read it on the 360, but you only get 1/2 the story on the ps3.... that's weird!

[wizerd]

who cares this game sucks i dont care how good it looks on any console lets just wait till mgs4 comes out and then lets compare that to a xbox 360 game then we see whos better

[Salvadore]

It's not like anybody here is going to buy the game after seeing the comparision, the game is still crap.

[kingnick]

"The two versions tested here are essentially identical, the only technical difference being - once again - the complete lack of anti-aliasing on the PlayStation 3 version of the game. In some titles this has a dramatic impact, but not so here. Lighting effects may look different in a selection of the comparison shots but this is mostly down to the dynamic nature of the weather and differences in the time of day. Like for like, the games are essentially interchangeable."

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

So you guys claiming huge differences are either talking BS or Eurogamer's got it wrong, I prefer to take the opinions of people who have seen the games live.

[Xbox is the BEST]

the Blu Ray player

[BestGamerAlive]

ur add on beyond 3fixme its dead R.I.P 360 such a short life the rrod killed it

[Spike47]

you xbots are so retarded.

I seriously sometimes think that Zhuk is one of those payed trolls of MS.

just look at how he always finishes his comments by saying that the xbox360 is the best and it's agraet system.

And funny how he manages to keep all of his bubbles.

[Spike47]

nobody even cares about this game.

Killzone 2 looks better than gears of war 2 even better than crysis.

have u seen the the resisitance 2 scans yet u @sswipes.

Jason360 nobody cries in a console war they just argue. Looks liek u have cried before about you're xbox and soon u will be crying when u see ms in last place.

[Jamegohanssj5]

They both look like crap in my opinion.

[THUNDERMARE]

Its kindda ironic when the the 360 first came out and all the 360 fan went on and brag about they dont need HDMI or component cable is the way etc. and now, oh la, they are asking for HDMI.

[Voozi]

Guys this is a video I made myself, let me tell you the differences as I saw them in person sitting in front of my tv...

1) The bartender guy in the 360 version appeared more "blurry" in the PS3 version he was more sharp

2) The textures in the bar/pub(w/e you want to call it) was better in the PS3 version, in the 360 version they appeared more smudged or w/e you wanna call it

3) The 360 version had darker shadows outside during battles

4) The 360 version still had an overall "darker" look to it however the difference is minimal and it's nothing you should really make a big deal about when you see it first handedly.

In the end when choosing this game for PS3 or 360, it comes down to which controller you prefer, and if you want achievements or not for the game.

I apologize for the bad video quality as well. And to any doubters who don't think it's me who uploads these comparison videos then I'll be more then happy to message you on that account, and also here's a list of upcoming comparisons I'm doing

Blazing Angels 2
Blacksite
Burnout - Uploading it Now

And more

PS: The reason why I have the black level extended on is because if it was off majority would criticize me "well blahblahblah you adjusted the black levels in the PS3 version to make it better you should have done the same" but anyways I just read over the settings and it doesn't even apply to games, the 360 black level settings only applys to DVD's & Movies (from what it says on the description) so it's not like it even effected the game in any way.

And yes I do agree it is a little "unfair" that it's HDMI vs Component, but don't blame me, blame Microsoft for not including HDMI out of the box when they first launched there 360, because I'm not going to go out and buy a new 360 just for HDMI, I'm not a sucker for marketing scams like that.

Don't fight over the videos too much ;), and once again sorry for the bad quality, you guys will get to see me fail driving skills as I attempt to drive two cars at once in Burnout soon XD

PSS: In the upcoming Burnout video, there are NO differences what so ever, at least from what I saw...

[LinuxGuru]

PS3 burnout has been shown to include more animation and deformation in the cars during crashes....also, sometimes the 360 version's framerate drops during the slow-mo crash sequences.

[killing_Art]

look at how many times this video has been seen, 68 they say in that site, and this is comment 65.
god, only fanboys in this site care about that video comparisons.

[LinuxGuru]

That game is pathetic.

You gotta love when the two lines of enemies charge eachother....and when they collide....they keep running in place.

HAHAHAHA!

Hooray for sh!tty games!

[Rice]

ummm, they both look like sh*t...

[mcgrawgamer]

refrence levels does affect the graphics ingame on the 360 I know, I use the vga cable and I've adjusted the black levels on the 360 and I've seen a considerable difference. Doesn't matter though who guys will see, hear, and say what you want.
